European Market Infrastructure Regulation<ref>http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2012:201:0001:0059:EN:PDF</ref> (EMIR) came into force as binding law within the European Union on 16 August 2012, although certain of its requirements came into force after a period of delay.
1.


The objective of EMIR is to reduce the risks posed to financial systems from the vast web of [[Over the counter]] (OTC) derivative transactions and the contingent large credit exposures that may arise as a consequence. The Regulation achieves this object by three significant requirements for:
''Law.''


• Central clearing and margining of standardised OTC derivatives (with certain exemptions for Non-Financial Counterparties)
A legal system that resolves disputes between persons by resort to principles of fairness and justness.


• Reporting of all derivative transactions to a trade repository


• Risk mitigation measures for all non cleared derivatives including collateral exchange and  confirmation and reconciliation procedures
2.


The capital of a firm invested by those accepting the greatest degree of risk, for example the holders of ordinary shares (also known as common stock or common equity) in a company.
